Unique Crochet Jumper with Lace Sleeves Pattern for Chic Looks
Uses
Use this pattern to create a lightweight, chic jumper perfect for layering or wearing as a statement piece.
Materials
-
Yarn: Gazzal Rock'n'Roll yarn (50g/115m) or a similar textured thread.
-
Hook: Crochet hook 2.75 mm or 3.0 mm.
-
Notions: Stitch markers (4 for the raglan lines).
Special Features
-
Top-Down Raglan Construction: Begin at the neckline and increase stitches at four points (raglan lines) to form the yoke.
-
Openwork Sleeves: Use a simple V-stitch lace pattern (DC, Ch 1, DC) only on the sleeve sections for a decorative effect.
-
Turning Rows: Work the entire garment in turning rows (alternating between face/front and back/wrong side) to ensure the texture is consistent throughout the jumper.
-
Ribbed Cuffs: Finish the voluminous sleeves with a neat, stretchy cuff using alternating front post and back post double crochet (FPDC/BPDC).
Level of Difficulty
This pattern is Intermediate. You must perform initial calculations, manage four raglan increases simultaneously, and ensure the lace pattern is correctly maintained over multiple rows. You also need to perform a precise stitch decrease to transition from the lace pattern to the ribbed cuff.
Tutor's Suggestions
Follow these tips from the instructor for a professional result:
-
Check Your Gauge: Before starting, create a sample to determine your stitch density (gauge). Measure how many stitches fit into 10 cm of double crochet (DC) fabric.
-
Loose Tension: Use a slightly larger hook (3.0 mm) or consciously maintain a loose tension, especially with this type of yarn, to prevent the fabric from becoming too stiff or tight.
-
Raglan Calculation: For the initial chain, divide the total stitch count (after subtracting 4 raglan stitches) by three. Dedicate one part to the back, one part to the front, and split the final part between the two sleeves (half for each).
-
Raglan Line Increases: After the first row, always make increases by working (DC, Ch 1, DC) into the chain space of the previous row's raglan line.
-
Neck Rise (Росток/Short Rows): Work back and forth for 4-5 cm along the back neck section before joining the full round to create a proper fit and neck shaping.

Patterns like this are great for anyone who loves clothing that feels personal and unique, because you can choose your own yarn colors and fibers to match your style and the season.
Wearing a handmade jumper like this isn’t just about warmth—its airy sleeves and detailed texture make it perfect for layering over tees or dresses in cooler weather, or even pairing with casual jeans for a relaxed but pretty look.

Conclusion
You have completed your beautiful jumper with lace sleeves! The combination of the solid body, openwork sleeves, and defined ribbed cuffs creates a visually stunning and comfortable garment ready for wear.
Tip
When transitioning from the flared lace pattern to the tight ribbed cuff, double-check that the stitch count in your Transition Row is exactly even before you start the ribbing. An uneven stitch count will cause your FPDC/BPDC pattern to break, creating a noticeable flaw in the ribbed texture.
